Best left-handed ODI XI of all time

#3 Brian Lara (West Indies)

Super Eight - West Indies v South Africa - Cricket World Cup 2007

Brian Lara, the 400-run-man, was a player of pure class with some flashy and effective strokes in his arsenal. With deft late-cuts and flashing cover drives, Lara was as good in ODIs as he was in Tests. Besides, Lara was equally efficient against spin and pace which made him one of the best batsmen in the 50-over cricket.

Lara played 299 ODIs for West Indies and amassed 10405 runs at an astonishing average of 40.17 of and a strike-rate of 79.51 which also include 63 fifties and 19 centuries with the highest score clocking 169.
